DOCKET NUMBER: AR20090005063
THE BOARD CONSIDERED THE FOLLOWING EVIDENCE:
1. Application for correction of military records (with supporting documents provided, if any).
2. Military Personnel Records and advisory opinions (if any).
THE APPLICANT'S REQUEST, STATEMENT, AND EVIDENCE:
1. The applicant requests reconsideration of his earlier request for correction of his DD Form 214 (Armed Forces of the United States Report of Transfer or Discharge), dated 25 May 1972, to show his service in the summer of 1974 at Camp Guernsey, WY.
2. The applicant states he recently obtained additional documentation from his employer that shows he was granted a leave of absence to perform annual training in 1974.
3. The applicant provides a copy of a form letter, dated 26 April 1974, subject: Request for Training Duty Leave of Absence, in support of his request.
CONSIDERATION OF EVIDENCE:
1. Incorporated herein by reference are military records which were summarized in the previous consideration of the applicant's case by the Army Board for Correction of Military Records (ABCMR) in Docket Number AR20080012891, dated 13 November 2008.
2. The applicant submitted a copy of an approved request for a leave of absence from his civilian employer which was not previously reviewed by the ABCMR; therefore, it is considered new evidence and as such warrants consideration by the Board.
3. The applicant's records show he was inducted into the Army of the United States on 19 November 1970. He completed basic combat and advanced individual training and was awarded military occupational specialty 13B (Field Artillery Crewmember).
4. The applicant's records show he served in various assignments within and outside continental United States and was honorably released from active duty in the rank/grade of sergeant/E-5 on 25 May 1972 and transferred to the U.S. Army Reserve Control Group (Reinforcement) for completion of his military service obligation (MSO).
5. The DD Form 214 he was issued shows he completed 1 year, 6 months, and 7 days of creditable active military service. It also shows an MSO date of 18 November 1976.
6. There is no indication that the applicant enlisted in the Regular Army and/or performed any periods of active duty subsequent to his release from active duty on 25 May 1972.
7. The applicant submitted a copy of a civilian request for a leave of absence from 1 June 1974 to 14 June 1974 for the purpose of Army Reserve annual training. The request was approved by his civilian employer's department head.
8. Army Regulation 635-5 (Separation Documents) establishes the standardized policy for preparing and distributing the DD Form 214. The DD Form 214 is a summary of a Soldiers most recent period of continuous active duty. It provides a brief, clear cut record of active duty service at the time of release from active duty, retirement, or discharge. The DD Form 214 is not intended to have any legal effect on termination of a Soldiers service. A DD Form 214 will be prepared for selected categories of military personnel including Reserve Component Soldiers completing 90 days or more of continuous active duty for training, full-time National Guard duty, active duty for special work, temporary tours of active duty, or Active Guard Reserve service.
DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS:
1. The applicant contends that his period of active duty service from 1 June 1974 to 14 June 1974 should be listed on his DD Form 214.
2. The evidence of record shows that the applicant requested and was authorized a leave of absence from his civilian employer for the period from 1 June 1974 to 14 June 1974 for the purpose of performing Reserve annual training. However, there is no evidence that he performed this period of training.
In any case, this period of active duty service occurred outside the period covered by his DD Form 214 from 19 November 1970 to 25 May 1972. Furthermore, this period of service was less than 90 days and would not have required the issuance of a separate DD Form 214.
3. The DD Form 214 is a summary of a Soldiers most recent period of continuous active duty. It provides a brief, clear-cut record of active duty service at the time of release from active duty, retirement, or discharge. The DD Form 214 is not intended to have any legal effect on termination of a Soldiers service.
4. In order to justify correction of a military record, the applicant must show, or it must otherwise satisfactorily appear, that the record is in error or unjust. The applicant has failed to submit evidence that would satisfy this requirement.

The Certificate of Discharge that the applicant submitted shows that the FSM was issued a General Discharge Certificate on 10 June 2003.

He requests that his records be corrected to show his medical disabilities were incurred while on that period of ADT. There is insufficient evidence to show the applicant's discharge from the ARNG in 1974 should be changed to a medical retirement. The evidence of record already shows the applicant was on active duty (annual training) from 2 through 9 June 1973.

On 26 November 1982, the applicant's company commander initiated action against him under the provisions of Army Regulation 635-200 (Personnel Separations Enlisted Personnel), chapter 11 (Entry Level Performance and Conduct Trainee Discharge Program).

Although the applicant indicates that originally there were 10 phases, documents in his file, including those authored by him, suggest that at the time he completed the course in October 1974 there were at least 9 phases. That same year a memorandum from the United States Army Command and General Staff College notes the applicant's enrollment in the correspondence course had been canceled because he failed to complete any credit hours for the RYE in June 1971. The applicant's retirement...

Application for correction of military records (with supporting documents provided, if any). The applicant requests correction of item 4 (Date of Birth), items 6a (Grade, Rate, or Rank) and 6b (Pay Grade), and item 9d (Effective Date) of his DD Form 214 (Report of Separation from Active Duty). There is no evidence indicating the applicant petitioned the Army Discharge Review Board for a change to the reason for his separation within that board's 15-year statute of limitations.
ARMY | BCMR | CY2008 | 20080015012
The evidence of record shows that the applicant entered active duty for training on 29 March 1967 and was honorably released from active duty on 29 July 1967. His DD Form 214 correctly shows the dates of entry and separation and the net period of active service. It appears that the applicants periods of service documented on the NA Form 13041 were performed as part of his USAR training obligation and could not be entered on the DD Form 214 as they occurred outside the period covered by...

The database reflects that the applicant had an outdated physical and an outdated security clearance and could not be promoted to CW3 based on policy in effect at the time. When an officer does not meet the qualification for promotion, the promotion effective date and the date of rank may be advanced to the date qualifications are met. The evidence of record shows that at the time of his selection for promotion to CW3, the applicant had an outdated physical and an outdated security clearance.
